Venkat Subramaniam: Kotlin for Java Programmers

There's so much you know as a Java programmer and yet there is so much more that Kotlin offers. It's a language that is built on strong foundations and, at the same time, brings along phenomenal concepts to favor low ceremony, fluency, sensible warnings, safe types, pragmatic mixture of object-oriented and functional programming, and so much more.
In this presentation, you'll start with what you already are familiar with, and dive into Kotlin, to learn about its strengths and capabilities.

What a powerful explanation of kotlin. Venkat is in depth of subject. His way of explaining kotlin is really excellent. He is the man of clarity and seamless delivery of the subject. Clear Agenda with clever explanation. Comparing kotlin with Java is really stupendous. 👏👍👏

It is a pity that Venkat does not repeat the questions to the microphone (or that they are not subtitled), sometimes it is really difficult to infer what he is answering to.

Alas !!! A wild Kotlin video appears !!! ^_^

A sub or superset of modern typescript or C# but for the JVM… I say ok! Those extension methods are a C# thing from 2006 introduced alongside LINQ which…hey that’s fine.
Definitely like the no ide magic approach to this talk.
